Not Your Momma's #MCM

So this post may not be what you think it is......this is a little story about my darling little Reese Cup.

See how adorable?

We have an established rule in this household that my kids are not allowed to date until they are married(for real....that should be the standing rule for kids everywhere).  Of course, in typical brotherly/sisterly "love"....they relentlessly tease the other one about have a boyfriend or girlfriend(the struggle is real, ya'll).  I've also been assured by Reese that if I get her a cell phone, she won't text boys.  HELLO....you're seven lol....you won't be getting a cell phone anyways.  

Anyways....let's get this story started....

Last week Reese asked me to help her download White Tiles on her phone(and if you must know, I won every time we played. Probably shouldn't be proud of that).  I tried to get into her iPad and she had changed the passcode.  I asked her what it was.....and instantly, the look of guilt came across her face.  She was silent for a few seconds....so I asked her again.  

She reluctantly started spelling out B-O-O-N-E.  Wait, WHAT? That is a BOYS name.  I called her our pretty quickly and her cheeks turned bright red and she wouldn't look me in the eye.  When questioned as to why her iPad passcode was a boy's name....she said "I don't know". (typical kid go to phrase), 

I told her we had to call her daddy so she could talk to him(co-parenting win).  We got him on the phone.....and in his usual wit....he had me laughing when I really shouldn't have.  He told her that there are two things that a seven year old should worry about.  He asked her what she thought those two things were....once again we got the typical "I don't know". 

He told her since she didn't know, he would tell her.  One.....get smart, get an education, do good in school.  Two....stay out of trouble.  He asked her how she would stay out of trouble....to which she responded "I won't change my iPad passcode to boys names."  At this point it was obvious I was holding in a laugh and she looked at me and grinned. 

She immediately changed her passcode back and learned a very valuable lesson.  I, however, am still in shock that my SEVEN  YEAR OLD, likes boys.  I didn't even have my first crush until I was in fifth grade.  Seriously....boys still have cooties....even at my age.  We are going to have our hands full with this one.  

So yeah....that happened.  It is still pretty funny, but I am so not ready for this!  Lord help us all! 

What do you think the appropriate age for kids to date is? What do you think the appropriate age for kids to have cell phones is?  Comment below and share with me!

Start children off on the way they should go, and even when they are old they will not turn from it.
